SATRA Leather

The leather which composes each Inkerman shoes is sourced from the United States. SATRA, a UK based technology organization, found its start developing the climbing boots worn by Tenzing Norway and Sir Edmond Hillary in the 1954 first ever summit of Mount Everest.

Today SATRA develops leather grading rubrics and systems for shoemakers to acquire the desired quality leather for their product. Inkerman uses Grade-A leather in all of its leather shoes. Inkerman only works with tanneries and manufacturers accredited to SATRA’s rigorous protocols.

Visit Inkerman to see how we have employed SATRA leather in our new Max and Charlie sneakers!

Inspired by traditional English designs, Inkerman shoes are constructed using a custom-engineered natural rubber sole, giving our shoes the walk of a sneaker, but the styling of a traditional dress shoe.
